Eino

Eino made their debut in the pages of Myrkky in 1997, a Finnish publication from Egmont Kustannus that carved out its own corner of the Modern Age comics landscape. With 38 catalogued appearances concentrated in that late-'90s to early-2000s run, Eino is a fixture of this distinctive anthology world, sharing its irreverent pages with a wonderfully offbeat cast that includes Firkin, Aimo, Myyntimies Mynttinen, Pera Pervo, and Phenomenomix. There's a real underground energy to the company Eino keeps, and for collectors with a taste for European alternative comics beyond the mainstream, Myrkky — and Eino within it — is a genuine discovery worth making.
